The Tiger sucks.  Avoid it.

The Tyan Thunder isn't bad, but be aware that there are several bugs
in the AMD MP chipset.  The latest kernels seem to work around at
least most of them pretty well though.

The Asus (I forget the model right now) dual Athlon board is probably
your best bet.

One of these years I need to try MSI's dual board...

The Intel STL2 was a good board...  I'd be surprised if the current
equivalent from Intel wasn't decent as well.  Of course, who wants a
Pentium III these days...
